If you haven't read the link you all need to read, read it.
I'd like to thank Bill Brookover for bringing it to my attention.
This is another first step in the attempt to take trapping from us here in NY. I don't mean us I mean you. If there has ever been a time for us to pull together and put the past behind us it's now!! I have been warning about the 220 issue for a few years now.
Here it is. This must be stopped now and every trapper in this state needs to get on the bandwagon and help put an end to this. If you are not a member of NYSTA, join. If you are then become active. Everyone needs to talk to their politicians, A.S.A.P. Tell them this isn't acceptable and tell them to put an end to it now.
Your town maybe next.

Jim, That was approached at the last BOD meeting and Gorden Batchler and 3 other biologist's were there as well. There position, if I remember correctly, was that Town's can restrict the use of traps on property that they own but nothing else. It has been tried in the past and the towns have lost the battle with the state. I believe Gorden said that they were looking at it to see what would happen. Now it's happened, let's see what they do?

This is nothing new.I live in Wayne Co, and every town or county park lands have always had signs up no hunting or trapping allowed. I do however have strong views on this 220 deal and they were read by Kieth Kutil at the January or March 05 NYSTA BOD meeting.
